Lyrics
[Chorus] In a hole, in the ground, where tales began, A hobbit took a journey, and became a new man. From dragons to wizards, through perilous plight, He found that courage is the truest light In a hole, in the ground, not a mansion nor a hut, Lived a hobbit named Bilbo, who was stuck in a rut. He loved his tea and cakes, and his books in a row, But fate had a plan, that he could not forego. Oh, Smaug the dragon, with scales like the night, Guarded gold and jewels, a terrible sight. In the lonely mountain, his treasure lay deep, While dwarves longed to reclaim what they couldn't keep. "An unexpected party," Gandalf declared, With dwarves in his home, Bilbo was ensnared. Thorin, their leader, with beard full of pride, Sought revenge on the beast, for the harm it had tried. [Chorus] In a hole, in the ground, where tales began, A hobbit took a journey, and became a new man. From dragons to wizards, through perilous plight, He found that courage is the truest light. [Verse] So they journeyed far, through forest and dale, Fought spiders and goblins, encountered many a tale. From Beorn the skin-changer to the Wood-Elves' king, They moved towards the mountain, where their hopes did cling. Oh, Mirkwood was dark, and the path was quite treacherous, With Elvenking's halls, where the wine was so delicious. Escaping in barrels, down the river they flowed, To Laketown they went, where their courage did grow. Now Smaug breathed fire, and Bilbo was sly, He crept through the darkness, with a gleam in his eye. Took the Arkenstone, the heart of the throne, While the dragon raged, and the sky was a glow. [Chorus] In a hole, in the ground, where tales began, A hobbit took a journey, and became a new man. From dragons to wizards, through perilous plight, He found that courage is the truest light. [Verse] Bard, the bowman, with an arrow of yew, Struck Smaug in the heart, and the dragon he slew. But greed was a curse, as old prophecies told, For the battle of five armies soon would unfold. Eagles swooped down, and Beorn roared like thunder, Goblins and wargs, they were torn asunder. Thorin lay dying, with wounds deep and sore, But peace was restored, though the scars would endure. Bilbo returned, to his hole in the ground, With tales of adventure and treasures abound. But he longed for his tea, and his quiet, dear home, With a heart full of memories, no longer to roam. [Chorus] In a hole, in the ground, where tales began, A hobbit took a journey, and became a new man. From dragons to wizards, through perilous plight, He found that courage is the truest light. [Chorus] In a hole, in the ground, where tales began, A hobbit took a journey, and became a new man. From dragons to wizards, through perilous plight, He found that courage is the truest light.
